Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler’s office came to the conclusion this week that the state’s General Assembly does not have the power to remove Gansler from office.
“The Maryland Constitution explicitly states that a ‘court of law’ is the forum for proceedings to remove an Attorney General,” wrote Gansler’s counsel Dan Friedman in a letter to House Speaker Michael E. Busch.
Friedman then quoted his 2006 book “The Maryland State Constitution: A Reference Guide” ($136.95 on Amazon). “The Attorney General may only be removed by a court proceeding for the specified grounds, not by impeachment by the legislature,” wrote Friedman. As an aside, Friedman wrote the book before he was hired into the AG's office.
